(from ABC's press release, January 2026) How did daytime television transform from an earnest community forum into a full-blown spectacle of provocative topics and salacious guests that redefined American culture? The new ABC docuseries "Dirty Talk: When Daytime Talk Shows Ruled TV" examines the rise, fall and lasting impact of the most sensational era in television talk show history. By exploring the psychological forces that shaped the talk TV genre, the series reveals how these shows transformed from trusted confessional spaces into lightning rods of controversy, leaving a lasting impact on culture, media and the people caught in the chaos. The new three-part docuseries premieres Wednesday, Jan. 14 (9:02-10:02 p.m. EST), on ABC and streams next day on Disney+ and Hulu.
